- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.3 it was coming and he gifts his wicket away on a silver plate. Tossed up on off, gets low to play the reverse sweep, doesn't get to the pitch of the ball and lobs a dolly to Lakmal at short third. He never looked comfortable out there from ball one. 59/32.1 edged and gone! Wahab strikes right away and traps a big fish. Wahab angles one outside off, Mendis goes for an extravagant drive but manages to edge towards wide of first slip. Kohler-Cadmore reaches out with both the hands and pockets a good catch. Going with soft palms was the key there 11/15.5 got'em. A run was denied previous delivery and the next ball the batter perishes. How often have we seen this. Length on off, cam in with the arm, Hafeez opts to play the cross bat hoick, misses and the ball snakes through the gap to rattle the stumps 40/214.5 get his man this time around. Full-toe-crusher, Rajapaksa get an inside edge on the pad and the ball rolls on to hit the timber. Crucial wicket this is for the Kings 82/511.1 a dragged down has earned him a wicket. Long hop on off stump, Samit sees the opportunity, rocks back and looks to give it a thwack but only manages to find Bandara at deep mid-wicket. 60/415.6 length ball on off, misses the sweep this time around and thuds on the pad. The ump adjudges him out and Arachchige has called for a review. The replay shows it has pitched in line. no bat involved and three reds. 92/617.6 he gets his man this time around. Udana closes the face of the blade touch early and hence a leading edge balloons up straight. Jayawickrama gobbles an easy catch 104/719.2 makes room for a fuller ball, flicks away towards deep mid-wicket. Throw comes in at the bowlers end, Lakmal fails to gather the ball and they try to sneak an over throw. Man backing up at the bowlers end, lobs the ball to the keeper and Tharanga is nowhere in the picture 122/8Extras17 (lb 1, nb 2, w 14)TOTAL129/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45)Did not bat: Pramod MadushanFall of wickets: 1-11 (Kusal Mendis, 2.1 ov), 2-40 (Mohammad Hafeez, 5.5 ov), 3-59 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 10.3 ov), 4-60 (Samit Patel, 11.1 ov), 5-82 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 14.5 ov), 6-92 (Sahan Arachchige, 15.6 ov), 7-104 (Isuru Udana, 17.6 ov), 8-122 (Pulina Tharanga, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.2 he gets his man. Slower through the air and entices Gurbaz for another aerial shot. Gets an outside edge as he looked to swipe across the line. Rajapaksa at first slip takes a blinder 33/23.2 down the track and Avishka goes on with the shot. Avishka on the move, skies one towards deep mid-wicket region. Noor patrolling out there pockets a good catch 18/19.3 Gone this time. Tossed up on off. 73kmph that was. TKC was lured into to defending this but the spin catches the outside edge and Rajapaksa takes another important catch. 43/314.6 that's the wicket they needed and Malik perishes. This was tossed up outside off, wrong one too. Malik goes for the drive but skews off an outside edge. Hafeez at short third times his jump perfectly and takes a good catch 78/613.3 gone! Slows this down a bit, Chaturanga looks to wild sweep across the line. Arachchige slid this one in and beats the slog to castle the stump 70/414.3 he gets his man.. tossed up on off, spins in and Perera was winding up for a big heave, misses and the wood work is disturbed again 77/517.4 what blunder from Bandara there. Lakmal digs one down the ground, there was never a two there. Bandara blindly turns for the second run, Lakmal sends him back. Udana rockets to the keepers end and Mendis has to collect the ball way down the leg and had to underarm at the stump. Despite of the desperate dive, Bandara is way short 103/817.1 he's gone! Fuller on off stump, gets a thick inside edge and Bandara calls for a suicidal run. Tharanga picks up the ball and cracks at the bowlers end. Wahab probably 4 yard short there 95/718.3 Noor Ahmed takes a blinder to wrap up the game. Slower ball on off. Lakmal swings to heaven and Noor at deep mid-wicket slid across and takes a good catch 109/1017.5 what's happening here? This looks as bad as school cricket. Googly to begin with, thuds on the pad and looks for a single and realizes there's never a run there but lazily plonks his bat back in. Meanwhile Mendis does what he had done all day long, another underarm aim and he's short 103/9Extras10 (b 1, lb 2, w 7)TOTAL109 all out (18.3 Overs, RR: 5.89)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Avishka Fernando, 3.2 ov), 2-33 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 5.2 ov), 3-43 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 9.3 ov), 4-70 (Chaturanga de Silva, 13.3 ov), 5-77 (Thisara Perera, 14.3 ov), 6-78 (Shoaib Malik, 14.6 ov), 7-95 (Wahab Riaz, 17.1 ov), 8-103 (Ashen Bandara, 17.4 ov), 9-103 (Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, 17.5 ov), 10-109 (Suranga Lakmal, 18.3 ov)
